Fetterman said this month during the government shutdown that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) \u201cnever\u201d spoke with him about the shutdown, adding that \u201cno one really knows\u201d who is leading Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman made the remarks during an appearance on Fox &amp; Friends, responding to an Axios report that Schumer had privately urged a group of moderate Democrats in mid-October to keep the government closed until at least the start of the Affordable Care Act open enrollment on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was not in a conversation or I never got any outreach,\u201d said Fetterman, adding that \u201ceveryone understood\u201d his position.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\">\n<div data-delay=\"4000\" data-block=\"12\">\n<div>\n<div id=\"e1c09a52-67a1-44a3-a58e-fc2bf67380c6\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI really kind of led the charge [to keep the government open] back in March.
